I have no idea what the relevence of DGPickett's post is.
The ctrl/z is being picked up by shell before it gets to your program. In foreground ctrl/z is commonly mapped to SUSP (suspend). The program can be brought to foreground with the "fg" Shell command.
To see the mapping of the various control keys in your session:
Each and every one of these can (and often will) be disabled or changed to suit individual terminals or applications. See "man stty" for your O/S.
Many people re-map INTR to ctrl/c for consistency with MSDOS but on many terminals it is not mapped to anything by default.
Hi,
when I execute a script on unix AIX, I've got an error message:
"Execution: 85328 Signal d'alarme".
If I edit this file with "vi", I ve got the same error after a while (about 1 minute).
If I try with another user I still have the problem.
But if I rename this file, no problem.

Hi everyone,
Is there a variable or built in function in the Unix env. for me to obtain the name of a signal that is caught? As far as I understand only a numeric value of the signal is returned to the handler.
For example:
void handler (int signum)

Hello e'bdy,
We have WebSphere MQ running on AIX 5.1
Every weekend MQ receives a kill -30 signal from some process or user and offloads a big error file. There is no way in MQ through which that process can be tracked.
Is there something which i can do on UNIX level to trap the process?

Hello,
I'm doing a project of OS simulation (Process Scheduling, to be very specific). Can anyone, please, explain what exactly happens in the background when we see "Sending all processes the KILL signal...........". How is it sent to each process? Is it that something like a boolean is stored... (3 Replies)
Who can explain the meaning of the &2 &1 or @, #, etc in the script?

bash, ksh and sh.
Thanks in advance for ur advice. (1 Reply)

Hi!
I want to catch all signals that my program receives print their name and then execute the default handler.
Can you help me on that?

A program have to receive signals and work agreed with it, but the process have to receive more than one signal when it is attending other. Those have to be queued to be attended later recived.
how can i do that?

rt_sigprocmask
SIGPROCMASK(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SIGPROCMASK(2)NAME
sigprocmask - examine and change blocked signals
SYNOPSIS
#include <signal.h>
int sigprocmask(int how, const sigset_t *set, sigset_t *oldset);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sigprocmask(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
sigprocmask() is used to fetch and/or change the signal mask of the calling thread. The signal mask is the set of signals whose delivery
is currently blocked for the caller (see also signal(7) for more details).
The behavior of the call is dependent on the value of how, as follows.
SIG_BLOCK
The set of blocked signals is the union of the current set and the set argument.
SIG_UNBLOCK
The signals in set are removed from the current set of blocked signals. It is permissible to attempt to unblock a signal which is
not blocked.
SIG_SETMASK
The set of blocked signals is set to the argument set.
If oldset is non-NULL, the previous value of the signal mask is stored in oldset.
If set is NULL, then the signal mask is unchanged (i.e., how is ignored), but the current value of the signal mask is nevertheless returned
in oldset (if it is not NULL).
The use of sigprocmask() is unspecified in a multithreaded process; see pthread_sigmask(3).
RETURN VALUE
sigprocmask() returns 0 on success and -1 on error. In the event of an error, errno is set to indicate the cause.
ERRORS
EFAULT the set or oldset argument points outside the process's allocated address space.
EINVAL The value specified in how was invalid.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
It is not possible to block SIGKILL or SIGSTOP. Attempts to do so are silently ignored.
Each of the threads in a process has its own signal mask.
A child created via fork(2) inherits a copy of its parent's signal mask; the signal mask is preserved across execve(2).
If SIGBUS, SIGFPE, SIGILL, or SIGSEGV are generated while they are blocked, the result is undefined, unless the signal was generated by
kill(2), sigqueue(3), or raise(3).
See sigsetops(3) for details on manipulating signal sets.
